Melodies are important. I always kind of pride myself on my melodies.

I love knowing that people are connecting to my lyrics, my music and me.

I like that I stand for something like American Idol which helps musicians and artists get out there. It's important to have shows like Idol because it's so hard to get into the music industry nowadays - nearly impossible.

I have a pretty wide range of musical tastes.

I love Soundgarden, I love Rage Against the Machine, Simon & Garfunkel.

My music comes from my emotion, always.

I overthink a lot of things.
